GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny and Carly Will Need to ‘Sell’ Their ‘Affair’, Is This the Beginning of a CarSon Reunion?
On General Hospital, after Sonny (Maurice Benard) shot and killed FBI agent John “Jagger”Cates (Adam J. Harrington), he needed an alibi, and immediately utilized Carly (Laura Wright) in the cover-up. Now, on yesterday’s September 5th episode of the ABC daytime drama series the exes find themselves in a situation where they will have to continue to keep up appearances.
Previously, in story, Sonny made it look as if he and Carly hit the sheets upstairs at the Quartermaine mansion, when he came downstairs tucking in his disheveled shirt, which was seen by an array of Q’s in their living room. This was after Sonny informed Carly he needed her help and for her to say she was with him for the last half hour during the time Cates was shot.
Now in the pick-up, people are getting wind that Sonny and Carly had ‘sex’, including Carly’s daughter, Josslyn (Eden McCoy), who is not so pleased to hear this ‘assumption’ from Gio (Giovanni Mazza).

At Sonny’s, Carly tells him that with this ‘plan’ she fears being an accessory to a murder charge. While she doesn’t want Sonny to go to jail, she is not going to take this charade any further. Carly shares with Sonny that she loves him and their children, but they are done as a couple, for good. Sonny asks her what is the harm of playing out the alibi. She counters what their family will think when they learn what was supposedly happening at the Q’s between them last night.
Later, Diane (Carolyn Hennesy) arrives to see Sonny, and sees Carly standing there in a sweatshirt and reacts by saying, “Oh no!” Once Diane is filled-in about their plans for Sonny’s alibi. Diane says she isn’t buying it and says nobody else will either.
The legal eagle gives them her expert advice, by saying, “If they want to sell this, they need more than a lapsed moment of judgment. What they need is a full-blown affair!” Carly is not pleased and storms out to change her clothes.
Diane goes on to tell Sonny that, he and Carly must be in synch and are going to have to make an official statement to the police. When Carly comes back into the room, Sonny tells her Diane suggests they talk to the police. He thinks because of their shared history, people will buy their cover-up. Carly agrees to keep Sonny out of jail and in Donna’s life, but notes she’s adding this to his ‘tab.’ As she exits Sonny’s, Josslyn shows up to confront her in the hallway.
So, will the fact that Sonny and Carly are going to now have to continue to make it appear like they are having an ‘affair’, finally bring them back together as a bonafide couple? Would you like to see Carly back with Sonny, or, are you hoping for a Jack Brennan (Charles Mesure) and Carly love affair? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
I want them back together like a year ago plus!
I do not want to see Sonny and Carly back together. She is a much more likeable character when she’s not involved with him. What about the story line of her and Jack Brennan? That’s much more interesting than the same tired Sonny/Carly story line that the writers always seem to fall back on. I was really hoping that this new writing team at GH would improve things. So far I’m not impressed.
Sonny & Carly go together like fire & brimstone. We all know it’s inevitable.
They’re about as exciting as two Robo Vacuums repeatedly bumping into each other on the kitchen floor. Actually, come to think of it, I’d rather watch the two Robo Vacuums.
I really rather prefer them with other people. Their relationship was always so toxic AND I thought Carly had grown away from Sonny. I know I’m probably in the minority, but repeated storylines are a real bore.
I agree with you about it being a bore. I am not really invested in either of them but I think it’s pointless for Carly to be paired with anyone. She puts Jason ahead of everyone including her children. Carly in any romantic pairing feels moot.
I can’t wait to see Carly & Sonny back together. Those two belongs together.
I hope this would bring them back together. “GREAT WAY TO GET THEM BACK TOGETHER “. I love Sonny & Carly together .
- I think we get your point, you want Sonny and Carly TOGETHER! They will still be as boring as they are now, not even a wink or romantic gesture. I hope Sonny has had his fill of blonde bimbos and Carly probably is having dreams of herself and Jason being together at long last.I haven’t seen romance on this show in forever except for maybe Cody and Sasha, in the short air-time they are given.
Those two always look utterly miserable with each other. To put Sonny and Carly back on the repeat cycle when they’re devoid of sexual and romantic chemistry, would be a cynical, anti- romantic, lazy, unimaginative choice.
Spot on Harry. Especially when Laura Wright and Charles Mesure have fairly good chemistry.
Yes. While I am not a fan of Carly’s, she does light up with Brennen. I would hope they’d explore their possibilities. She seems depressed and resolved when with Sonny, and utterly bored with the weirdly perverted game show host ( Drew). Let’s see Carly with someone she actually enjoys and respects.
I Would like to see Jack and Carley get together first.If that doesn’t work out, then Sonny for sure. I think jack and Carley have great chemistry together. Basically Carley has great chemistry with everyone!
No. Carly really doesn’t have chemistry with everyone. That’s emphatically untrue. She enjoyed zero chemistry with Jagger, both Drews, Jason and of course, Sonny. She seems to have chemistry with Brennen. But then again, that guy seems to have chemistry with everyone and everything. He could make that weird succulent plant on Carly’s kitchen counter blush. The guy just sparkles and crackles with charisma.
Oh yea! He just oozes sex and Carly has hit the jackpot, unless he looses interest, she isn’t showing much encouragement, especially with her and Sonny’s phony sexcapade.
Yes please. Those two are fabulous together.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob
This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”
Now it’s Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) vs. Curtis (Donnell Turner), as the surgeon is suing the owner of the Savoy for assault that ruined is ability to operate. At the end of the day, which of these men has enough evidence against the other? Portia (Brook Kerr) is by Isaiah’s side, while Jordan (Tanisha Harper) is with Curtis.

Leading into this week, viewers know that Willow doesn’t want the former escort anywhere near her children, Amelia and Wiley. Is this how she stops her, or is Jacinda up to old tricks and wants to frame Willow? Remember when Jacindsa drugged Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Stay tuned.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80
Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.
PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
